Total shoulder prostheses are artificial joint replacements designed to restore function and relieve pain in severely damaged or degenerative shoulders. They replace both the ball (humeral head) and socket (glenoid) surfaces, often used for conditions like fractures, arthritis, or failed prior surgeries, and may include reverse geometry options for complex cases.
These devices are typically regulated as implantable medical devices, requiring strict manufacturing and performance standards to ensure safety and efficacy. They are usually supplied sterile and may come with fixation hardware, though classification and supply details vary by jurisdiction and specific design features.
